Smart and modern hotel with good amenities and an easy bus ride into Pula centre. The pool and lawn had plenty of free sun loungers in September (at least outside of school holidays), the pebble beach is very close and the saltwater pool clean and quiet - pool towels can be collected near the changing rooms and toilets. The hotel restaurant is €32 euro for buffet dinner but there are other restaurants in walking distance (like Olivia at Park Plaza Verudela). At lunchtime there is a very good à la carte menu (awesome truffle mayo cheeseburger as well as pasta dishes and sandwiches) at very reasonable prices (€10-15). The service was great while we were there for food or drink, at lunch and in the evening. The room was clean and well looked after. Could have done with a thicker pillow option but otherwise no issues. I think it's worth paying the extra for a pool view as the balcony faces the trees and sea as well (otherwise you may face the car park). Staff in the spa and on hotel reception all really polite and helpful too. All in all, a nice hotel with great staff!

The property was absolutely amazing! Most of the staff speak great English and were very friendly and attentive The property was very clean and well laid out, we stayed in one of the chalets and it was top notch: there was a complimentary fruit bowl, robes, slippers, beach bags, the lot! The garden was also very nice There were hammocks and beds laid out on the grass for hotel guests, loungers by the pool and outside seating. When we wanted to leaves the main hotel, we were within walking distance from two beaches, from an aquarium, an art park and other restaurants- not that we needed to visit them, because the hotel restaurant served delicious and very good value food A stop for the bus route into the main town was close by and very well signed Five stars!

The room was nice, although the bathroom door does not offer complete privacy. The food was tasty and plentiful, but the desserts for dinner were not to our taste. The lounging area on the grass is calm and there is always shade. However, at times, there were not enough lounge chairs for all the hotel guests. The hotel's policy against reserving lounge chairs should actually be enforced (some chairs and beds were empty for hours despite being reserved with towels). It would also be nice if there was a possibility to order drinks in this area without having to go to the hotel/pool. The nearest beach is, unfortunately, too small and overcrowded, but there are bigger ones within walking distance. The hotel area is very calm and quiet in the evening and at night. Most of the staff were kind, welcoming and helpful.

Average hotel, decent value
During the summer season we paid a relatively high price that would get you a 4 or 5 star hotel for the same price in Dubai for example. Staff at check-in was a bit stressed out and we felt that. Staff at the restaurant was welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Pool is salt-water, clean, and there is a tiny wading pool for toddlers. The pebble beach is very scenic with some 3 to 4m high cliffs you can jump off of, but the beach is relatively small so it is very crowded during the peak times. The beach is publicly accessible meaning access is not limited to only hotel guests. Rooms are small. They seem like they were recently renovated. Beds and bathrooms are clean, but the carpet seemed like a poor design choice and was stained in the room where we stayed. The best thing about the hotel are the nice grounds, grassy area in the pine forest, large yoga wooden platform and quick access (five minute walk) to the Aquarium.

The hotel decor is quite Mid-century modern. There is a beAutiful sloping lawn dotted with lounge chairs leading to the beach, which is characteristically pebbly. A path winds around the coastline with a sophisticated nearby restaurant and a point at the outermost edge where people gather to watch the sunset. The staff is fantastic, especially our hardworking waiter and Kelli at the front desk, who gave us excellent advice on restaurants, where to get a Covid test - easy - and Pula attractions.

We had a wonderful week here in August. The hotel is part of a group of 3 hotels & villas on the Verudela Peninsula, all within walking distance and you have a access to them all. The Park Plaza Arena is smaller and quieter than the its sister hotel Histria & the Verudela Villas. There was a nice mix of young and older couples and families. Its set slightly back from the sea (approx 150m) with pines trees all around. There are beds and hammocks under the pine trees for use by guests as well as sunloungers around the pool. The pool has chlorinated salt water but don't let that put you off as that is the case with all the other hotels too. The beach has large flat stones so aqua shoes are recommended. The sea is beautifully clear. There is a water slide (free) and an play aqua inflatable course (chargeable) paddle board & kayak hire. Buffet breakfast was fabulous with lots of choice offering fruit, meats, cheese, cooked items, pastries and great coffee. Dinner buffet was equally extensive, or there was a la carte. Due to Covid, staff served the buffets at each section but that didn't hinder how much you could have. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make your stay enjoyable. We have 2 children and had a 2 bedroom garden suite which was fantastic. Views through the pine trees with the sea beyond. Very peaceful indeed. We would highly recommend this hotel.

I’ve been trying to find faults with this hotel, but I can’t! Everything was perfect. The staff were so friendly and helpful, it was spotlessly clean, there was a full and varied range of food, the facilities were first class. A fantastic hotel.

Great little rest up point. Breakfast and dinner can be had on premises. Pula old town is right near by. Plenty of beaches near by for days in the sun. Hammocks beach chairs and beds down the short hill, just above the beach. Wonderful 3 day stay.
